Chapter 35 Attempted Escape

Illness did not stop Mu Xu from working hard. He took medicine according to the doctor's advice, drank plenty of hot water, went to bed early, and stepped into the office on time the next day with good energy.Chi Juntao excused himself to rest and didn't show up with Mu Xu. Kan Mengran carefully looked at Mu Xu's face and handed him a cup of hot tea: "How are you feeling today?"

"It's okay." Mu Xu said softly, "The nose is stuffy." He held the teacup in both hands to warm his hands, "Thank you."

"The tea party with Baoneng at five o'clock in the afternoon will be moved to eleven o'clock in the morning tomorrow." Kan Mengran said, "Mr. Miao heard that you have a cold, and told you to go to bed early."

"The tea party with Baoneng will be moved to next Thursday. I'll see Mr. Miao after I recover from my cold." Mu Xu said, "Don't infect him."

"Okay." Kan Mengran said, "Call me anytime you need anything."

"Let's have less contact with each other before I recover from illness." Mu Xu said, "Just deliver the lunch at the door, and I'll take it myself."

Kan Mengran rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."

Mu Xu squeezed his nose, covered his mouth and sneezed, moved into the independent office, closed the door behind his backhand, and sat behind the mahogany desk to start his day's work.

"Aren't you sick?" Cao Hanyang looked puzzled at Chi Juntao who came to find him by taxi, "Your eyes are red."

"I have a little fever." Chi Juntao said, "Do you have a house to live in? I want to stay for two days."

"Why, Mr. Mu can't tolerate you anymore?" Cao Hanyang turned sideways to let Chi Juntao enter the living room.

"Find a place to calm down." Chi Juntao said, "He has gone to work."

"Mr. Mu is not at home, are you still in the house alone?" Cao Hanyang asked.

Chi Juntao doesn't speak, he needs a place without Mu Xu's aura, even if Mu Xu goes to work, all the details around him show the presence of the other party, Chi Juntao stays in the house in Shuxiangyuan, his mind doesn't turn around at all.

"I have an old house of 79 square meters." Cao Hanyang said, "The red brick building in [-] is in Dongsishitiao."

"Why do you have a house of forty square meters?" Chi Juntao asked.

"No one lives here. My little nephew uses it for his school status." Cao Hanyang said, "The house isn't well-decorated, and the heating isn't great. You can live there if you don't mind." He walked to the cloakroom with his slippers on, squatting Next, find a key from the corner of the bottom drawer, "Here."

Chi Juntao took the key and put it in his pocket, saying, "Thank you."

"How long will you stay?" Cao Hanyang asked, "I forgot whether there is any remaining utility bills for that house."

"Two or three days." Chi Juntao said.

"Why don't you stay in a hotel?" Cao Hanyang asked, "The money that Mr. Mu gave you can't afford to stay in a hotel, right?"

"Too noisy." Chi Juntao said.

"Why are you looking for a quiet place?" Cao Hanyang asked curiously.

"Write a plan." Chi Juntao said, "Think about what to do in the future."

"Besides taking the civil servant test, do you have other ideas?" Cao Hanyang asked.

Chi Juntao said: "It's not just about work." What he thinks about is more related to Mu Xu, so he needs a place that is completely quiet and far away from Mu Xu, to seriously think about the meaning of the word [Mu Xu] to him. significance.

"You haven't come out to play for a long time." Cao Hanyang said, "What are you busy with?"

"Writing a thesis." Chi Juntao said, "I finished the first draft of my graduation thesis, and I'm going to write a resume to find an internship."

"Oh, amazing." Cao Hanyang said, "I can play for another year." He went to school a year later than Chi Juntao, and is currently in the second year of graduate school.His family conditions are different from Chi Juntao's. Chi Juntao must enter the system, while Cao Hanyang is a standard rich kid. After graduation, he went to his own company and went to work carelessly.

"Mr. Mu will open a back door for you to enter Huajin." Cao Hanyang said, "Write a resume."

"He asked me to write it." Chi Juntao said, and he was annoyed when he mentioned this, "There is no way."

"..." Cao Hanyang looked at Chi Juntao incredulously, "The words 'no way' can come out of Young Master Chi's mouth, I admire Mr. Mu from the bottom of my heart."

"You have nothing to do with him." Chi Juntao said, he glanced at Cao Hanyang contemptuously, "You look like this, and he doesn't like you."

"Hey, why are you attacking personally?" Cao Hanyang didn't understand Chi Juntao's inexplicable sharpness, he said, "You're here, let's go out to play at night?"

Chi Juntao said, "I just took cephalosporin."

"...Forget it." Cao Hanyang waved his hands dejectedly, "Disappointing."

Chi Juntao took the key and walked out of the gate: "I'll go and see your house."

"I'm with you." Cao Hanyang said, "I haven't been there for a long time. I don't know if the home appliances can be used normally."

Joaquin Building, President's Office.

Facing the computer screen, Mu Xu said, "I'm sorry, I've caught a cold, and I'm afraid of infecting you. This meeting will be connected online, and next week's weekly meeting will also be online."

"Have you taken any medicine?" a manager asked with concern.

"I've eaten." Mu Xu rubbed his temples and said, "Let's start, who will be the first to talk?"

Kan Mengran put her lunch on the table at the door of the office, raised her hand to knock on the door to indicate that the meal had arrived, she walked back to her workstation and waited for a while, the door opened, took the lunch box with one hand, and the door quickly closed.

It's like feeding a cat, Kan Mengran thought while resting her cheek.

That's why Mu Xu was able to turn a cold into a prison sentence.

Chi Juntao was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, his focus was lost, and his thoughts had long deviated from the question he wanted to think about at the beginning.At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Hanyang came to the room and looked around to confirm that the water heater and refrigerator were working, and asked Chi Juntao, "How many days are you staying?"

"About three days." Chi Juntao said, "If I can figure it out."

"What does it mean to understand?" Cao Hanyang asked.

Chi Juntao shook his head: "I don't know."

"What should I say when President Mu asks me?" Cao Hanyang asked.

"He won't take the initiative to find me." Chi Juntao said firmly.

Cao Hanyang raised his eyebrows: "What if?"

Chi Juntao bent down and sat on the sofa: "There is no chance." It is undeniable that after saying this, he felt a little sad, as if the skin of his heart had been pulled, it didn't hurt, but he was irritable.

He lay on the sofa all afternoon, and put the specially prepared paper and pen on the coffee table.He turned off his mobile phone and put it on his chest. There was silence all afternoon, except for his breathing, only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

Most of the children of the aristocratic family are shrewd, and Chi Juntao considers himself the best of them.Chi Yan chose him as his successor only because Chi Juntao's personality is the most similar to Chi Yan's, intelligent, indifferent, rational and crazy.But Chi Juntao has an infatuated father. After his wife died of dystocia, Chi Xiuwen tried to commit suicide by swallowing medicine, but was found in time and was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage. Chi Yan picked up Chi Juntao who was still a baby, but Chi Xiuwen refused to see his son.

Is love in the world really so terrible?Chi Xiuwen, who can live comfortably, has nothing to ask for and is determined to die. Chi Juntao is both curious and fearful.He stared at the twisted cracks on the ceiling, and his distracted mind outlined Mu Xu's figure on the ceiling. What is this person doing now?Did he take his medicine on time, did he still have a headache, what would he have for dinner, he checked how to make chicken soup, and he happened to try it today.The chaotic thoughts buried the topic that Chi Juntao wanted to think about at first, and he tried several times to drag back the thoughts that had strayed away, but he digressed within a few minutes.

Mu Xu, who was repeatedly chanted by Chi Juntao, ended the meeting, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, 05:30.The sun was setting outside the window, and the street lights were lighting up one after another. Mu Xu picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and stayed on Chi Juntao's chat window with his fingertips for half a second, and typed a few words [Take medicine at six o'clock, don't forget. 】

The phone vibrated, and Chi Juntao got up suddenly. It turned out to be a message from Mu Xu. He unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, and typed the reply [OK. 】

[Mu Xu: Do you feel better today? 】

[Chi Juntao: I don't have a fever anymore, and I have no strength in my hands and feet. 】

[Mu Xu: What do you want for dinner? 】

[Chi Juntao: I have a recipe for making soup. 】

【Mu Xu: Go out and eat, don't do it yourself. 】

Chi Juntao completely forgot about his plan to retreat for three days to sort out his thoughts, and typed cross-legged [I know a restaurant's hen soup is delicious. 】

[Mu Xu: Send me a location. 】

[Chi Juntao: [Map location]]

Young Master Chi, who finished posting the positioning, remembered the retreat, he raised his head, recalling the results of his thinking in the afternoon, his head was empty, and the progress was 0%.

[Mu Xu: Are you at home?I will pick you up. 】

Chi Juntao was flattered and held the phone, hesitating.

Forget it, he thought, take one step at a time.

From the present point of view, sticking to Mu Xu did not bring him any harm, on the contrary, Mu Xu contributed money and energy to take care of him, so why should he be suspicious.

Young Master Chi, who puts interests first, thought he had figured out the stakes between the two, so he lowered his head and sent Mu Xu a message [I'm in Dongsi, take a taxi there. 】
